I have a problem that I think might be a sticky AFM and need some ideas. Symptoms: Total loss of engine power. Engine stays running but engine lights flicker because of the low power. Pressing on the throttle does absolutely nothing. It is intermittant so I can't exactly test too many things. It has happened three times in the last week and each time the engine starts running again fine after doing some meaningless fiddling with the engine. It starts fine after turning the engine off and then back on as well. My diagnosis (perhaps a completely unfounded one): AFM. I think that either the flapper is sticky (although it didn't appear too bad this morning when I opened it up) or else the signal between the AFM and the ECU is bad. Questions: - How can I check the AFM and the electrical connections? (Remember that the problem is intermittant too). - Any other ideas? Thanks a ton, Blake 84 Westy SLC, UT
